Ipswich Win

Match Result

Reason for Tip

Taking a risk on this one but at juicy odds, the league leaders Coventry hosts third place Ipswich in what should be an excellent match. Within the previous four head-to-head matches the visitors Ipswich have a perfect record, managing to win all four games.

⭐ Bet of the Day

Millwall v Ipswich

Tip: Ipswich to Win

Third-placed Ipswich travel to sixth-placed Millwall in what looks like a big opportunity for the visitors to pick up all three points. Ipswich come into this match in good form, having won three of their previous four league games, and they continue to show consistency against sides in and around the play-off positions.

Millwall, meanwhile, are struggling to find momentum and arrive winless in their previous three matches. With Ipswich showing stronger form and greater attacking threat, the visitors look the value pick to take maximum points here.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Tips

Man Utd v Newcastle

Both sides have been heavily involved in BTTS fixtures recently. Manchester United have seen both teams score in each of their last five matches, while Newcastle have landed BTTS in four of their previous five. Goals at both ends look very likely here.

Coventry v Swansea

Coventry continue to score regularly, finding the net in four of their last five games, while Swansea have been even more reliable in front of goal, scoring in all five of their previous five matches. BTTS has also landed in three of the last four head-to-head meetings, making this a strong angle.

Leicester v Watford

Leicester have been involved in five straight BTTS matches, while Watford have seen BTTS land in four of their last five, scoring in every one of those games. With both sides attacking well but conceding regularly, BTTS appeals again.

Middlesbrough v Blackburn

Middlesbrough have seen BTTS in four of their last five matches, and Blackburn match that record, with four of their previous five also landing BTTS. Blackburn have scored in all five of those games, which strengthens the case for goals at both ends.

Accumulator Tips

Norwich v Charlton

Tip: Norwich to Win
Norwich are in decent form, losing just once in their previous six matches, while Charlton are struggling badly, having lost five of their last seven. Home win looks the logical play.

Sheffield Wednesday v Hull

Tip: Hull to Win
Sheffield Wednesday are in awful form, winless in their previous ten matches and losing seven during that run. Hull, by contrast, are flying, winning four of their last five games. The visitors look well placed to continue that momentum.

Stoke v Preston

Tip: Preston or Draw
Stoke have managed just two wins in their previous eight matches, losing six in that period. Preston are unbeaten in their last six league games, making the double chance on the visitors a sensible selection.

Wrexham v Sheffield United

Tip: Sheffield United to Win
Wrexham are winless in their previous five matches, while Sheffield United have lost just once in their last five. The visitors have also won both of the previous two head-to-head meetings, giving them a clear edge.
